Number four is a weird round beast holding his tail. It will be fun to watch these guys develop as I work on them.

I’d waited until the piece was nearly complete, with the heads firmly attached, to hang it vertically. I didn’t like the result at all! They were far too static. I took a gamble and sliced them off, doing far more adjustment than I normally do at this stage. I’m already feeling better about the piece, though it’s alarming to hold all the unattached parts up to make sure it’s working

The black drips are a departure for me, but I very strongly feel like it’s the right thing. It’s nerve racking and invigorating to go out on a limb like this. The image of the bold drips had been floating around in my head for a while.
